Hello! We arrive today at our beginning, the place where love was planted. It rests within you. It’s always been there. We just had to turn the light on so we could find it. Our light is on now. We may need to install fresh batteries now and again to keep it going. That’s okay; we know where to get them and which ones work the best. They are found in the places that feed our soul. We are components of the One – each an integral part, necessary and unique. In 1898, Konstantin Stanislavsky said “There are no small parts, just small actors”. Sometimes we imagine our light unimportant or too tiny to make a difference. Once I found myself sort of stuck in the corner of a tightly packed storage facility. Half of our stuff was packed there as work was being done on the house. It had taken longer than anticipated, and because the children wanted their beloved decorations for an upcoming holiday, I was searching through stacked to the ceiling boxes, piled all around me. Then the power went out, and all went black. For a moment, I panicked. I was alone and not sure anyone even knew I was there. But I opened my cell phone and became illuminated! It was small, dim and didn’t stay lit for more than ten seconds at a time, but it helped me find my way. Now it took awhile, and crawling around with my phone in my mouth left a few bruises, but I made it – thanks to that tiny light. We are all like that. We just don’t know how far our words reach, or the effect one generous thought can have. The really cool thing is, we don’t have to. As we focus on loving ourselves, our light expands as does our reach. The light that you are is vital. Know that you are a microcosm of the whole. What is happening in your heart is being played out in our world. Love yourself. With the energy of your love and the power of your light you change everything. You came to discover just what you could do in such a dark place. You came to light the way. You are so much more than you know. The brilliance of you is bringing us all to a place of unparalleled beauty. You were made for this. We are in sort of crazy times. All around it looks like the power went out. Your light is so important now. Be that one in a billion light source that changes everything. You know how. Just love. Against all odds and in the face of every negative thought, word or situation – refuse to be afraid. You know who you are. You are a piece of the divine here to spark a passionate healing flame of Agape. This is not for the feint of heart. The strongest among us took this on. We are the ones who said yes. You are powerful, capable and oh so ready for this. It is an honor to witness. As you push your way out of the dark and emerge, brilliant and beautiful, our world is forever changed. We are the One we were waiting for. This completes our Quest! Thank you! ~This Quest has had a deeper significance for me. A very close love of mine is about to undergo surgery. He is a veteran, and came home 7 years ago with more in his body than he left with. If you’d just send your light to my hero, specifically tomorrow, it would help. Namaste’. With so much love and gratitude, Sophia We’ll meet again on September 21st, 2012.
